Great Idea, however when I tried out the demos, it didn't actually turn on the camera. Am I doing something wrong? Great presentation! Hey!

It was fun, refreshing, inspiring, and the title speaks for itself! Very cool shit. I loved that you were able go from burn-out to such a fun, wild ride of programming. You are a really creative guy, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what you present next year! You've set the bar high! Doug, your presentation alone was worth the cost of the conference!

I appreciate your honesty and creativity, and am glad to know that the Flash building community has such enthusiasm. The content was certainly engaging, and while it could have been more technical, I think your approach was more important in helping us remember how not to get burned out by the mundane, but to find our geekiness and enjoy what we work with by looking for it in different places. You did a great job summarizing (and demonstrating) different directions ours and other technologies are heading. The CSI factor was an interesting metaphor, and while we could've sat around and watched you build apps on the fly, it was more important to me to see the thematic development. Thanks again and keep the idea factory rolling! Doug,

I'm trying to tinker around with your source code for the AR demo (you totally beat me to the punch on the wearable AR items!). I've worked on numerous AR implementations and would like to get your feedback on what you feel makes your implementation so smooth as far as tracking. It seems like the ones I've done always are a bit skittish and never have been able to replicate the tracking as well as yours. Thanks again! Thanks for posting your slides and such.

I took to heart what you talked about with being burned out making login pages, etc. You found some cool shit too. The demos were fantastic, and I liked that you gave credit to your inspration, and then your list of where you'd like to see it go. Some people will not get past the offensiveness - which is too bad for them. I don't share your speaking style but I thought your preso was one of the best if not the best of the conference. This was echoed by others I talked to afterwards and by the shear numbers. Job well done! Doug,

I found it a refreshing break from all the technical talks. You obviously have a very dynamic personality and put together a very well thought out and personal presentation. I personally found all three topics intellectually interesting, and was impressed that you had the fortitude to roll up your sleeves and actually do something of significance with each of them. I was embarrassed to realize I had known nothing about AR until your talk, so that little nugget alone provided a lot of value to me. Ultimately, as I think I asked you at the end... I was hoping for some kind silver bullet that we could all use to keep us passionate about our day jobs. But that is probably not realistic. If you could figure out how to do the "bringing the passion back to the things we get paid to do talk..." now that you might have been able to sell the 100+ 360 tickets that were left.
